the Ferrari market watch thread

Hey Pap !

It is a very different feeling being on this side of an "I WANT TO STEAL IT" offer .....isn't it

 

Fantastic mate! Enjoy.

 

I wonder how long a dealer would keep an 08 599 with 2171km on the clock and still ask $675K for it?

I mean, when will they realise that its not going to sell for that price?

Its coming up to 2010 and I am sure they still dont want it there in the showroom. They have to make room for the Italia after all.

Would they ever sell it for less than what they paid for it, just to get rid of it off the floor?? Do Ferrari dealers do that??

a lot of taxes come off after 2 years from memory, then the real price turns up

 

Excellent, I will call them next year and pick up a bargin.

 

Yep, you can claim a refund of the LCT.

I suspect Rob is the only one here old enough to know how to drive it !
[<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Q exits stage left ]

 

Bit early for you Q..?

Rob would be too "excited" to be able to drive it!

 

LOL ...yes, anything pre-10am, and you need to suspect I haven't slept yet

bad mental image with Rob behind the wheel

 

Fixed!

 

PP would be scared of a VFOHOS !!

 

Lol!

 

shaddap

i'm hard to scare

 

Next time you are up, we will have to go for a drive in my old Mercerdes 6.3
.....and put that statement to the test !

 

I've been in one.....there was nothing scary about it.

 

But was Q behind the wheel?

 

yeah !
....the fear in my eyes should do it

 

truck.

 

awesome.

 

Here is a GT4 that needs a little bit of work!

$35K, no reserve.

Probably wouldnt want to pay much more for it than that,if the valves are original,then you are probably looking to spend between $10-15K to put it all right,providing the body is straight and rust free..

 

Yep, almost better of paying $50-$60K and getting one that is "good".

But, as usual..............I am sure the seller will have no trouble selling it because there is always someone who thinks they can buy it cheap and own a cheap Ferrari!

We both know that is far from the truth with this car. $10K-$15K may soon turn into $30K before you know it. Then, you would have almost been better off paying $60K from the start to get a 'good car'.

 

And how would I know all this..............













































Because Im the kinda dickhead that would do exactly that!!!
